Physiological, pathophysiological, psychobiological, and pharmacological concepts are examined that provide a foundation for understanding the pathophysiology of disease and the rationale for treatment including pharmacologic therapy that serve as a basis for critical thinking and decision making in the planning and managing of care for individuals across the life span are examined. COURSE OBJECTIVESUpon completion of this course, the student will be able to:Utilize principles from the biological and behavioral sciences to understand pathophysiological and psychobiological processes across the lifespan.Explain relationships among pathophysiological processes, laboratory and diagnostic tests, and clinical manifestations of selected illnesses and the pharmacological treatment.3. Identify genetic factors that influence pathophysiological and psychobiological processes in diverse clients.4.Distinguish differences between developmental physiological alterations and pathophysiological processes. 5.Explain psychobiological processes associated with functional alterations in client’s behavior.Explain the rationale for pharmacological therapies related to the physiological, pathophysiological and/or psychobiological processes occurring in the individual.COURSE SCHEDULEE-Learning in Canvas is the course management system that you will use for this course.
